   Well *I* certainly hope not....  Kerry would be the very worst thing that   
   could ever happen to this country!  I'm just a little bit tired of all this   
   *bs* chit-chatting about WMD.  Saddam *was* a WMD!  He needed to go.  His   
   regime needed to go.  He consistantly disregarded the UN sanctioned terms he   
   was obliged to follow.  Does everyone forget.....?.... he was given an   
   ultimatum..... step down, .... or else.  He didn't.  So we *or elsed*.  I   
   don't see the problem here,... he had to go, and now he's gone.  Good   
   riddance.  Now we mop up the mess, and the people of Iraq will be a free   
   nation, and an ally to the US.  I am behind this war effort 100%.  Next   
   turban-headed country....please step up to the bat!
